Passive resistive torque of the plantar flexors following eccentric loading as assessed by isokinetic dynamometry.
Isokinetic dynamometers may provide a useful means of measuring muscle stiffness resulting from eccentric exercise because they can measure torque from computer-controlled passive movements of joints (passive resistive torque; PRT). In this study, a Biodex measured increased ankle PRT (52%; p <.001) following heel drop exercise in nine young women. Therefore, isokinetic dynamometers can provide...
متن کاملAnkle dorsiflexor muscle performance in healthy young men and women: reliability of eccentric peak torque and work measurements.
The aims of this study were: (i) to assess the test-retest intrarater reliability of eccentric ankle dorsiflexor muscle performance in young healthy men and women using the Biodex dynamometer; and (ii) to examine different statistical indices for the interpretation of reliability. Thirty men and women (age 22.5 +/- 2.5 years, mean +/- S.D.) performed three maximal eccentric contractions at 30 d...
متن کاملSynergistic Co-activation Increases the Extent of Mechanical Interaction between Rat Ankle Plantar-Flexors
Force transmission between rat ankle plantar-flexors has been found for physiological muscle lengths and relative positions, but only with all muscles maximally activated. The aims of this study were to assess intermuscular mechanical interactions between ankle plantar-flexors during (i) fully passive conditions, (ii) excitation of soleus (SO), (iii) excitation of lateral gastrocnemius (LG), an...
متن کاملEccentric plantar-flexor torque deficits in participants with functional ankle instability.
CONTEXT Inversion ankle sprains can lead to a chronic condition called functional ankle instability (FAI). Limited research has been reported regarding isokinetic measures for the plantar flexors and dorsiflexors of the ankle. OBJECTIVE To examine the isokinetic eccentric torque measures of the ankle musculature in participants with stable ankles and participants with functionally unstable an...
متن کاملPlantar-flexor Static Stretch Training Effect on Eccentric and Concentric Peak Torque – A comparative Study of Trained versus Untrained Subjects
The aim of this study was to examine the long-term effects of static stretching of the plantar-flexor muscles on eccentric and concentric torque and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion in healthy subjects. Seventy five healthy male volunteers, with no previous history of trauma to the calf that required surgery, absence of knee flexion contracture and no history of neurologic dysfunction or dise...
